Arraez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Padres.

The 28-year-old contact king lofted a Bryan King fastball at the top of the zone down the right-field line in the seventh inning, accounting for the Padres' final offense of the night. Arraez has hit safely in six straight games, batting .357 (10-for-28) over that stretch to boost his slash line on the season to .294/.322/.435, but he's also flashing more power than usual to kick off 2025. Arraez has homered three times in 20 games, after leaving the yard only four times in 150 regular-season contests last year.

Schmitt suffered a left oblique strain while hitting in the batting cage before Friday's game against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Schmitt was a late scratch from the lineup Friday due to an issue in his left side, and it now seems like the 26-year-old is destined to spend time on the injured list following his diagnosis. Brett Wisely and Marco Luciano are the most likely candidates to fill in as infield depth for San Francisco while Schmitt is sidelined.

Harper went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Friday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.

Harper put the Phillies on the board in the first inning when he took Sandy Alcantara deep to right field for a 418-foot, two-run home run. Harper is up to five home runs on the season, three of which have come over his last four games. He's slashing .264/.404/.500 with a 17:17 BB:K, four stolen bases, 14 runs scored and 11 RBI across 89 plate appearances.

Wade will start at first base and bat ninth Friday against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wade was originally due to get a day off Friday against left-handed starter Tyler Anderson, but an injury to Casey Schmitt (side) will force the 31-year-old back into the starting nine. Wade is 0-for-4 against southpaws so far this season and owns a .559 OPS against them across his big-league career.

Schmitt was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game versus the Angels due to left side tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Giants haven't provided any details on the severity of Schmitt's injury, but it's enough to warrant a day off Friday to recover. His absence will put LaMonte Wade at first base against a left-handed starter.

Wade is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Angels on Friday.

The Angels are sending southpaw Tyler Anderson to the mound, so the lefty-hitting Wade will begin Friday's contest on the bench while Casey Schmitt starts at first base and bats sixth. Wade has been cold at the plate, going 1-for-26 with seven walks, three runs scored, three RBI and 13 strikeouts over his last nine games.

Hoskins is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

Hoskins had a very successful three-game series against Detroit, going 6-for-10 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored. He'll now take a seat after making six consecutive starts, allowing Jake Bauers to pick up a start at first base and bat sixth.

Burleson is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

With lefty David Peterson on the bump for the Mets, Burleson will yield to Luken Baker in the designated hitter slot. Burleson has been absent from the lineup all six times the Cardinals have faced a southpaw this season.

Naylor went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

Naylor went deep for a third straight game and is up to four homers through 19 contests this season. He's hit safely in nine of the last 10 games, batting .368 with seven extra-base hits, 10 RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch.

Wade isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The lefty-hitting Wade will step out of the starting nine Thursday while southpaw Cristopher Sanchez starts on the mound for Philadelphia. Casey Schmitt will pick up a start at first base and bat fifth while Wade rests.
